Cannabis is a bountiful plant that offers many potential and beneficial compounds to transform your health and lifestyle. Delta 10 is the latest addition to its benefits, discovered unintentionally in a California laboratory due to a reaction caused by a fire retardant. 

It’s a new compound that’s predicted to have effects similar to the other THC compounds, Delta 8 and Delta 9, due to its chemical structure similarities. 

It’s expected that Delta 10 will be available as oils, disposable pens, vapes, chocolate bars, gummies, syringes, and other forms for consumption.

The THC Compounds

There were previously four dominant types of THCs before Delta 10 THC was discovered. They are:

• THCV
• THCA
• Delta-8 THC
• Delta-9 THC

Currently, the Delta-10 is still waiting for more research to show its effects on the human body. 

Today, all information regarding the THC compound indicates that it is a substance with low potency and is best prepared in a laboratory to avoid exhaustion of plant resources. 

Delta 10 vs THCA

THCA is a compound that acts as the parent or source chemical compound for the other compounds. When THCA is exposed to prolonged heat and light, it transforms into Delta 8, Delta 9, or THCV. 

It is derived from the cannabis plant and is popular for its impressive medicinal benefits. It is known to alleviate health conditions such as epilepsy, nausea, arthritis, and diabetes. 

THCA is the only compound that does not possess any mind-altering or psychoactive effects and performs solely for therapeutic purposes. Delta 10, on the other hand, does produce feelings of relaxation.

Delta 10 vs THCV

D-10 is currently known to be a compound with very subtle psychoactive properties, while THCV can offer distinct energy if consumed in significant doses. In low doses, it does not have much of an impact. 

A stark difference between the compound and other THCs like Delta 10 and Delta 9 is that THCVs act as a hunger suppressant rather than an appetite booster. So, you would not have to go on an eating marathon because the munchies never hit you. 

Delta 10 vs Delta 8 and Delta 9

Delta 8 and Delta 9 are compounds that are well appreciated in the cannabis community, known for their mood-uplifting and medicinal properties. The demand for these two is always soaring through the roof. 

The discovery of this compound (or accidental discovery) is seeing a lot of positive responses too. ∆9THC made of hemp is federally legal, considering that it follows the limit of 0.3%.

Exposing Delta 8 to a few extra steps and a catalyst caused the creation of Delta 10 THC. The scientists are still studying the side effects that Delta 10 will create. Only extensive research and lenient laws will help speed up the research process. 

As for medicinal uses, people are still awaiting the studies to prove if there are any effects from Delta 10. Few reports show that D-10 brings a sense of calm and focus. The cannabis community is still undertaking in-depth research on this compound.
